Back in time for dinner.' &PYour cheeks are burning. &CYou say 'Awwww, mom!' &PYou sigh. &rYou are suddenly awoken as a large boulder falls from above you and into the molten lava below. You blink rapidly as you watch it quickly disintegrate before your eyes. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 E north~ &wDown and to the north lies a pit of molten lava. So far down is it, but its heat still rises here to bite at you. ~ E east~ &wTo the east, and down beyond the reaches of any mortal being is a pit of molten lava so hot that it scorches you from where you stand now. ~ E up~ &zBlack as pitch. ~ E south~ &wA jagged wall stretches up for as far as the eye can see. Even the most skilled or magical creature could not dream to venture there. ~ E west~ &wYour only choice in path is to the west, which takes you towards the centre of it all. ~ D3 ~ ~ 0 0 602 S #605 &rA Rising Mist&W~ &rA thick mist of steam rises up every few seconds from below. You perspire heavily, making any sort of armor or even regular attire unbearable to wear. Come to think of it, you've never been this uncomfortable in your life. But then again, this could very well be the end of it. 'Perhaps I'm already dead. Perhaps this is where we go when we die...' You trudge on for some glimpse of hope... somewhere. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 E up~ &zBlack as pitch. ~ E down~ &wThe ground seems pretty sturdy here except for the occasional tremor. All around you now, looms the heat from the lava pit below. Even if you were to fly about this place, you would die of exhaustion trying. ~ E east~ &wDown and east from here is the Heart of Hell. Molten lava spurts up every so often... even from far, far below. ~ E west~ &wWest and down you can see the faraway lava bubbling and gurgling like the Heart of Hell. ~ E south~ &wGoing south will have you heading back to the gates from which you came. ~ D0 ~ ~ 0 0 606 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 602 S #606 &rDeep within the Rising Mist&W~ &rThe mist seems to get thicker here, and you feel as though that is what you are walking on or wading through. You wonder if you would be falling, if it were not for the mist. Over towards the northerly direction (at least you hope that's still north), you catch a glimpse of a dark figure moving about. You hear a faint clicking sound and what sounds like voices up that way as well. If you keep going, maybe you'll bump into something... or someone that can help you find your way. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 E up~ &zBlack as pitch. ~ E down~ &wThe ground here is almost like a bridge somehow, but somehow you know it is not. Who would cross a bridge of this kind? Surely not anyone of sane mentality. ~ E east west~ &wOut and down from the mist, you can vaguely see the glow of the molten lava below. Far out from the reaches of mankind. ~ E south~ &wSouth will take you back towards the gates from which you came to know this place. ~ E north~ &wTo the north, you can hear what seems like voices... although it could be your own mind playing tricks on you. ~ D0 ~ ~ 0 0 607 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 605 S #607 &rThe Checkpoint&W~ &rThe mist continues to linger here as you move ahead... however, you come to a point where the mist is barely there at all. In fact, you can see things quite clearly at this point. What appears to be a Checkpoint. There is a large slab of stone with many very small tablets atop it. The ground, you notice (because you can actually see it clearly now) isn't solid stone or rock, but sort of a dirt pathway that heads back to the south... and from what you can see ahead, to the north a little ways. ~ 0 134619164 0 Rd 0 E up~ &zBlack as pitch. ~ E down~ The floor here is almost non-existant, it would seem, as the mist from the south continues to linger here. ~ E south~ &wThe south will take you back to the gates from where you entered this plane. ~ E east west~ &wOut and down from here glow the lava pits, and the Heart of Hell. ~ D0 A large door of stone stands here to the north. ~ ~ 3 0 608 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 606 S #608 &rA Down-Slope&W~ &rThis a very small and very cramped slope. If you are claustrophobic, you won't want to stay here for very long. The walls here are crumbling, and there are a few pieces of paper that are somehow pinned, or burnt onto the walls. All throughout the area you can hear the nipping flames of an eternal fire. ~ 0 168173592 0 Rd 0 E papers~ A few burned up parchments line the walls here. They are completely illegible. ~ E up~ &zBlack as pitch. ~ E north west east~ &wYou are completely closed in here. The walls all around you are of solid rock. ~ E south~ &wThe checkpoint that you left behind has disappeared. A wall of rock is in it's place now. You perceive no way of getting out in that direction. ~ D5 ~ ~ 0 0 609 S #609 &rThe Second Floor&W~ &rThe walls are crumbling here and even now, a few bits of rock tumble down at your feet. You look up in hopes that an opening of some sort may come out of all the wreckage above you... but no, no hint of the ceiling giving way. Looking around you, you can see that there is a path leading to the south. Taking a step that way, you glance back at the ceiling behind you as a bigger piece of it tumbles down. No such luck though, the way up above you is still fully intact. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 610 S #610 &rA Risen Pathway&W~ &rThe path to the south, is not unlike that of the path you saw on the upper floor of this horrid place. A sort of dirt covers the ground here, and if you are walking, your feet make a scratching sound with each step you take. A smell wafts through the air that perks up your nose-hairs and makes you breath as if getting ready for a sneeze. You can attempt to go back to the north, but you will find that it is to no avail. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 E dirt~ &BThe dirt is definately a coarse substance. It seems that it is not in its original form, but came to be this way from the burning and melting by the flames that whip by you. ~ D0 ~ ~ 0 0 609 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 611 S #611 &rA Risen Pathway&W~ &rThe pathway goes in all cardinal directions from here. The ground is of a dirt that you cannot place at the moment. Flames lash up from deep below you, though you don't dare to look over the edge from fear of losing your balance and falling to your doom. You can see that every so often the flames whip up past the level that you are on, presumably to the level that you had already visited. You continue to wonder how much further down this place could possibly go. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 E dirt~ &BThe same dirt that can be seen throughout the area. A course substance that came to be this way from the seering heat of the flames below. ~ D0 ~ ~ 0 0 610 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 613 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 614 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 612 S #612 &rA Cliff?&W~ &rHere from the cliff, you attempt to peek over the edge almost falling over into the flames below. You catch your balance luckily, learning that looking down is not a very good idea. Your safest option is to go back east of here. &RA whip of flame lashes out at you nearly singeing your armour! ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 611 S #613 &rA Cliff?&W~ &rThe ground here consists of the same scratchy substance you have seen throughout the area. Flames burst out from beneath you to the level above. Peering over the edge you see a quick flash of light, and then you feel a burning sensation momentarily afterward. &PYou look down. &RYour armour is on fire! &PYou stop, drop and roll. &P&wYou get up to find yourself giving off smoke. &PYou sigh with relief. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 611 S #614 &rA Slope&W~ &rAs soon as you enter this small cavern, you can feel yourself slowly slipping downward. You look up to see the exit behind you disappear. Your only exit from here... is down. ~ 0 168173592 0 Rd 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 615 S #615 &rThe Third Floor&W~ &rYou look up with desperation, and see no exit. Somehow the exits are being closed off from behind you, with no option for you to go back. Your only way out from here is to the north, that you can see. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 616 S #616 &rA Rock Formation&W~ &rA formation of molten rock begins here. Whether it has been man-made and purposely put here, you are unable to tell. It seems to be the beginning of a new pathway, but you cannot be sure. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 617 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 615 S #617 &rRock-pile&W~ &rA large pile of molten rock forms a semi-cave to the north. There are bits and pieces of loose rock here and there, but the majority of the pile is made from rock that has been melted into place. You might just make it through the opening to see what's inside. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 618 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 616 S #618 &rA Small Rock-Slide&W~ &r Entering what you thought to be the mouth of a little cave, you begin to feel yourself sliding downward. You try to clutch onto the bigger rocks that form this little hole, but to no avail. You're slipping and you can't stop until you hit bottom. ~ 0 168173592 0 Rd 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 619 S #619 &rThe Fourth Floor&W~ &r Rocks are piled up at your feet from the rock-slide that sent you down to this floor. You step carefully so as not to slip because who knows where another fall could take you. A small boulder falls from behind you and rolls its way ahead of you to the south. You can't go back up, so it seems that south is the only way to go. ~ 0 134619164 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 620 S #620 &rA Rocky Path&W~ &r Rocks line each side of your path as you move to the south. The rocks get bigger going to the north and smaller going to the south. It seems to be a little trail left from others who have fallen down that same rock-slide. Some of the smaller pebbles of loose rock go flying over the edge of the pathway and down into the pits of lava below. &RYou can hear a faint hissing sound briefly. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 619 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 621 S #621 &rA Clearing&W~ &r Your path seems to clear up a little bit here, with only a few little pebbles scattered about. The walkway continues on to the south, or goes back to the north where you left the rock-slide. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 620 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 622 S #622 &rA Clearing&W~ &r The path is almost completely clear of rocks and pebbles here, although that doesn't seem very comforting. You can see the path from the rock-slide back to the north... or you can go on to the south. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 E south~ ~ D0 ~ ~ 0 0 621 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 624 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 623 S #623 &rA Ledge&W~ &rHere you are, once again looking over the edge of yet another cliff. You look down to see that the pit of lava below continues beyond your vision. Once every so often a bubble of hot air bursts a few feet in front of you and you can feel the heat come off. A ragged rocky wall can be seen far off to the north, but you know there is no way to get there over the molten pit below. &RYou feel a searing heat on your face as you peer over the edge... ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 622 S #624 &rA Rugged Stairway&W~ &rHere you come to spiral stairway leading down. You look to the north from where you came only to see that you cannot go back that way. It appears you now have a decision to make... wait here for whatever it is you are supposed to face, or go down to meet your destiny. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 625 S #625 &rThe Fifth Floor&W~ &r After reaching the bottom of the stairway that led you down here, you look back to see that it is gone. Perhaps you expected this to happen, perhaps not. None-the-less, it has disappeared with no hopes of ever ascending them back up to where you came from. The beginning of this floor is not unlike that of any of the others you have seen. The pathway here is somewhat larger, and you have more space to walk on without worry of falling over the edge. You can feel the heat of the lava pits below, and it only gets hotter from herein. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 626 S #626 &rA Crowded Cavern&W~ &r The faint smell of brimstone wafts through the air here. You look up to see stalagtites piercing down upon you and all around you stalagmites poke up from every direction. You almost have to squeeze your way through them to get anywhere. You can see a dim light not far off from the north. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 627 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 625 S #627 &rA Crowded Cavern&W~ &r This cavern is filled with stalagmites and stalagtites as well, although you can maneuver around them a little easier here. The scent of brimstone continues to assault you as you move closer to the north. A bright light shines in from the north making everything you look at seem orange as though you are looking through tinted glass. ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 E light~ &RIn the north direction, a bright orange light sends its echo throughout this cavern. ~ E north~ &RLooking toward the north, all you can see is a bright orange light. ~ D0 ~ ~ 0 0 628 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 626 S #628 &rA Large Fire-Pit&W~ &r This cavern, although tinted with the colour orange from the fire in the centre of the place, also contains many stalagmites and stalagtites. You find it hard to move around here, and are very cautious so as not to fall into the fire-pit. You look around some more for another way out, but it seems that down into the fiery light is your only exit. ~ 0 168173592 0 Rd 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 629 S >enter_prog 100~ 0 if ispc($n) rpecho &zA dark figure jumps into the pit. endif ~ | #629 &rThe Sixth Floor&W~ ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 630 S #630 ~ ~ 0 134619160 0 Rd 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 629 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 632 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 631 S #631 ~ ~ 0 168173592 0 Rd 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 630 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 633 S #632 ~ ~ 0 168173592 0 Rd 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 630 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 633 S #633 &rThe Seventh Floor&W~ ~ 0 134619164 0 Rd 0 S #0 #SPECIALS M 603 spec_wanderer M 607 spec_breath_any S #RESETS M 0 600 1 600 M 0 605 1 601 E 0 604 0 20 O 0 600 0 601 M 0 601 1 607 M 0 602 1 607 O 0 601 0 607 M 0 603 1 608 E 0 610 0 9 M 0 603 1 609 M 0 604 1 617 O 0 607 0 619 O 0 608 0 621 O 0 609 0 624 S #SHOPS 0 #$
